    Oh the inner conflict of the triumph of winning and the agony of defeat. 😛 I remember playing both sides of the baseball game…

      I would always be biased towards a team whenever I played both sides, so it wasn't really fair. 🙁

    i think i know the answer but i'm still asking: hotlinking to one of your strips will not be ok, right? but if i will save it locally and then upload it to some image hosting server and then share it on my facebook will that be ok? or… i just got another idea. i will just share the link to this post 🙂

    in the last frame i can easily picture myself in. i did that on the xbox yesterday. it's so sad, haha.

      Spiking is a way of hitting the ball with a tremendous amount of force. You need to get out more often =)

    I've been hit in the face with a spiked volleyball before too. It hurts, and it broke my glasses. I got to walk home while it was snowing with no glasses.

    Heh, I took a spiked volleyball to the face, too, but the ball went back over the net. I think we got the point, probably because the other team was laughing so hard, but that was a long time ago while I was at school so I can't be sure.

      Well, that's not as bad as playing kickball, kicking it, and having it knock you in the head, and being considered out.

    I concur. I am experiencing a distinct comical deficiency with this one.

      I accidentally deleted this post while at work. I went home to re-upload the strip and discovered my apartment had for some reason lost it's internet connection. But I was just contacted by my roommate that she got the internet back up and I will repost this comic.

    During one particularly embarrassing dodge-ball match, I managed to completely fail at throwing the ball. I dropped it when I moved my arm back.

    How about falling down while trying to kick the ball in kickball? Or is that just me?

    I have played Wii Baseball against myself, because against the computer gets way too hard. I have had a basketball chucked (intending me to catch it) at me and had it hit my face. I couldn’t see straight for a couple of seconds, and I have fractured a rib playing football against my friends.

    Dear Adam, it is a shame that such a talented cartoonist still needs a day job.

    This has long been one of my favorite of your comics. Mostly for the last panel, which reminds me forcibly of that Calvin and Hobbes strip where Calvin catches a baseball he hit.
    “I DID IT! I CAUGHT IT!!
    ….I’m out….”
